Stellar, just dropped him off at MSP.

You can always disable the onboard or use more than one video card.

Happy Birthday, see you at the double deuce tonight

There is a reason I pay no attention to the news. Who is getting married?

I had brunch there on Easter, was yummy.

But obviously that is running away, lol. Amazing how stupid nearly everything they post is and the even funnier part about it is that they think they are clever and getting somewhere. They've proved one thing, that they are good at making subjective conclusions based on no facts at all. Tough way to go through life, I pity them.

Their butt hurt. At this point they just are trying to stir the pot...which is exactly all they wanted to do in the other thread. I should have been smart enough to realize after their initial reaction but played right into their idiot game. In that case I lose Had they actually wanted to learn something though it would be a different story, but that isn't their prerogative which should have been obvious. All I wanted to do was help, but got misled into retorting to idiotic bullshit. As I said, I'm done with the thread unless they want to discuss the statement that was the cause of it.

ROFL

Crap I was wrong. Pretty simple here guys, I should have figured it out earlier though. If you have an interest in discussing the enclosure fine, if not then I'll step up and just not respond. I made one very simple point and that was there are better ways to meet Malibu's goals. From that point on you all emotionally went nuts and just want to attack everything I type for any reason, but never address the point at hand. I am sorry I fell into that trap and responded which of course fueled this further. At this point I am done fueling the fire, but still more than glad to discuss the enclosure. If you want to keep skirting it you can do it without expecting a response from me.

I'll read that later, but you should as well as it definitely won't be proving that math isn't valid.

Lol, nice try. Best? Best for what...and perfect world? Come on, stop making up stuff. Not at all a correct interpretation. Not an applicable argument. You are stating something that defies math, show me where my assumptions are wrong. Try understanding it instead of quoting it, this whole discussion would be easier. No one said to trust a computer program, but math and science. I don't care if you do it by hand as long as you take into account the true variables modeling will not lie. This is beyond this discussion though and not pertinent. This thread was made to continue a discussion on why a certain box that someone pushed someone to design and build wasn't the best solution for his goals. It wasn't said that it wouldn't be loud, that it wouldn't work at all, but that there was a better way to do it. It sure seems to me that isn't what you want to talk about now which surely leads me to conclusions that I hope one of you hops on and proves wrong.

Glad no one was hurt

Impious already answered nearly everything you asked Alan, but there is one other thing to clarify. It does not defy Physics not even close. Guess how GM designed that car? That's right, by modeling it in the virtual world. They then verified their model using modal analysis and transfer path analysis to determine if the acoustic model that they had created was satisfactory and did what they had designed it to. This includes the full acoustic response of not only the stereo but the car interacting with the world as well. Obviously with any model some assumptions are made, but the trick is to manage the variables such that the outcome is appropriate. If it didn't defy Physics for GM then I am pretty sure it didn't for the box design in question. How would that add credibility? Are you implying you'll believe some idiot who spouts incorrect BS because he has a history that includes winning something? How about the opposite, what if I said I've never installed a car stereo but I did all the model verification for GM on their car. Obviously you are a bit short cited in your whole thought on this process if you truly think it has to be limited to car audio, or to even think that is what is necessary to be relevant. Either way, credibility on the internet should never come from citing your experiences but instead expressing them and backing them up with logic and thought which is exactly why I thought Big Boi made this thread as someone wanted to share that. I find it disgusting when people want to live on their reputation but don't actually bring any game to the table, hopefully that isn't happening here or being implied that it is a good thing. As for your point, it is a good one though as so far the credibility of the ultra-defensive Malibu'ers happens to be completely subjective. Subjective & emotional responses do not paint a pretty picture. To get this back on topic and answer what you should have been asking, there are some rather simple things here to understand: Box design, which isn't particularly hard and the understanding of transfer functions which is more difficult, but just rudimentary Physics and not rocket science. If you think there is some magic voodoo or something else as well, then lets hear it.

I hope your over insured stuff gets walloped and your under untouched

Or I wasn't desirable enough, but that sucks to say

But my request was out of their reach.

Actually location of my choice as they were moving the office. Figured that way works and just have a cruiser down on the lake.

Wasn't really Detroit either, but Ann Arbor which is tolerable.

It won't be long and your mb problem will be solved

For a $100k, where do I sign?

Definitely doesn't suck where I am...and it would take a lot to get me to move.

I asked for more than $100k more, it sort of stopped that negotiation.

That would be helpful, I keep getting pursued but in Detroit or Boston. I want to stay here.

Thanks for the props guys.
